Jimenez holds off Molinari to win European Masters

Golf Betting Lines

09/05/2010 - Crans Montana, Switzerland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - After nearly coughing up a six- stroke lead, Miguel Angel Jimenez birdied the 17th hole Sunday to fend off Ryder Cup teammate Edoardo Molinari and win the European Masters.

Jimenez closed with a four-under 67 to finish off his third win of the season at 21-under-par 263.

The Spaniard earned his 18th European Tour victory, but first in 22 appearances at this tournament.

Molinari was down by six strokes on the back nine, but birdied 12 and 14, then made eagle on the 15th at Crans-sur-Sierre Golf Club to get within one.

He made bogey on 16 and ended three back after Jimenez's birdie on 17. Molinari also shot four-under 67 to take second at minus-18.

Matteo Manassero, who this week became the youngest player to make the cut in a European Tour event, carded a three-under 68 to take third at 16-under 268.

Jimenez's victory makes it five straight wins for European Ryder Cup team members, and six in a row for Ryder Cup players if you include American Hunter Mahan's win at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational.

The winners in order were Ross Fisher (3 Irish Open), Mahan, Martin Kaymer (PGA Championship), Peter Hanson (Czech Open), Molinari (Johnnie Walker Championship) and Jimenez.
